newr'and 'useful Improvements in Devices for the Administration of MedicatedOxy sgen, of-which the following is a specificationl-i -r i P This invention relates to devices for administering medicated oxygen and aims to provide certain improvements therein. Q, According to my invention I provide a device which is adapted to be connected with 5 any window,and through which the outerairiisled to the patient or other user. Preferablythe airyis passed through a medicagnent awhereby it takes up or becomes charged with the latter, so that in the act of breathing-the medication is drawn directly into theslungs ofi the patient. f A: particular. feature of, improvement is g-thatthedevice can be applied to the window withoutvin any-way marring or altering the letter,- and can be freely removed and replaced when desired.

Means are provided for preventing the a -ingress of. dust to the medication chamber so that the air received by the patient is free from foreign substances. Means are also provided for forcing the outside air into the apparatus by means of a pump or like device those cases where the conditions are such that, the natural'flow'of air is insufiicient. Means also are provided fol-governing or controlling the tlow.

Referring to the drawings which illus- {t 1 ate one embodiment of the invention, Figure l is a vertical section of the complete 40 apparatus shown in position at a window.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken approximately on the line 22 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is -a section taken on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2, the receiver for. holding the inedicating substancebeing shown in front elevation. Fig. 4 isJai ection taken on the line 4-4; in Fig. l

tion a. Boltsc 0' are provided, the heads of which move in the grooves of the sections 6 Z and the shanks of which extend through the section a and are there provided with,

suit-able thumb nuts for binding the sections I together.

When the device is to be used in connection with a window, the window sash is raised and the support A is adjusted"beneath', the support being extended to such;

width that the ends of the sections b I) lit in, the grooves of the sash guides, the sections being then rigidly connected by the boltscc.

In one of the sections, preferably the middle section a the receiver B is mounted. This receiver is provided at its front with an opening d which corresponds with an opening e made in'the section a. 'Any suitable means for holding the receiver in place may be provided, preferably that shown which consists of metal guides f f, and designed to receive flanges g g formed upon the receiver. The latter is preferably made of glass, and in this case the flanges are .molded integrally with the body of the 're- CLIVBI'.

Stops h it are preferably formed on the upper end of the flanges g g so as Y to limit the downward movement of the receiver in its guides.

In the upper part of the receiver is mount ed a wire or other basket 9' which is supported by a suitable metal ring restingon the upper edge of the receiver. The basket ,j is designed to contain cotton or other absorbent material which can be impregn ted with any suitable medicament which it is designed to convey to the throat or lungs V of the patient. Above the basket 9' andconnected to the top of the receiver isa cap or cover Z which is formed with a-spout m designed to be connected by a rubber 'or other tube n with a suitable mouth piece or nozzle 0 which is held near the inouth.

of-the patient. The mouth piece preferably screws into the tube so that it is easily zip-- plied and removed.

practical value in the treatment of diseases of the throat," bronchial tubes and lungs, since it affords an abundantsupply of fresh As thus constructed,'the device is of great air to the patient uncontaminated by theair of the room, and if desired such air is medicated in such manner as,may be indicaled by the particular disease being treated. I is found in practice that no effort is re. quired upon the part of the patient to draw air through the apparatus; in fact there is a sufficient natural fiow of air to supply that which is necessary to the patient. If the mouth piece 0 shown in Fig. l is held close to the patients nose or mouth a sufficient supply of fresh without effort;

The invention, however, includes other improvements which will now be described.

I prefer to introduce into the passage between the outer air and the receiver B a screen 7' (Figs. 1 and 2) For convenience this may be supported in any desirable way, but for simplicity I prefer to mount it'in the opening of the section a as shown'particnlarly in Fig. 2. This device maybe of 1 any suitable construction to reduce or cut off the flow, and preferably consists of ,a slide working in front of the guides j which hold the receiver B.

In some cases where the tube 71. is particularly long, or under other conditions, it

is desirable to force the air into the recep-' tacle from the outside. My invention includes any suitable means for accomplishing this result, that shown consisting ofa pump located on the middle section, a of the mounting device, such pump being provided with a handle which extends inwardly through the section a. The pump is of usualconstruction having suitable inlet and outlet valves, and is provided with aconmeeting tube 25 which leads fromthe outlet side or the pump to the air passage e. It may be'held in such passage in any COHVI11 ient manner, preferably by the use-of a disk u which has at its middle a nipple v to which the tube is attached- The nipple 'v is provided with a passage leading toward the interior of the receiver B, and the disk u s formed with a series of passages surrounding the nipple. As the pump is oper- :ilml a stream of air is forced into the revolver which by induction carries in with it quantities of the outer air through the passages in the disk.

1f itis desired to'use the device for the :uln'iinistration of oxygen in tanks, the re ceiver B may be removed from its support, and a cork or plug inserted in its opening which is provided with an aperture to tit the tank, as indicated in dotted lines in Fi 3.

l t will be seen that my invention provides a thoroughly eflicient and practical means for administering fresh air either medi-' cated or unmedicated to a patient within a room. This is done by an apparatus which is easily applicable to any window and which requires no alteratlon or change in existing conditions. It Wlll also be seen that the strength of the current of air can be increased as desired by the use of the pump, or can be diminished as desired by J I shdes.

air will be obtained While I have shown in detail one form of my invention, I do not wish to be limited thereto as various changes can be made therein without departing from the invention.
